Roy Williams says he benefits from lockout

Roy Williams is thankful for the rest he’s getting during the lockout.

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, a seven-year vet, told the Odessa American recently that “for us older players, it’s good.”

Williams, 29, made his comments while holding a youth football camp in the West Texas city, his hometown.

“I talked to a player who was contemplating retirement, but the lockout has gotten his body back to where it needs to be,” Williams said, per ESPNDallas.com.

While Williams is benefitting from the work stoppage, that’s not true for other members of the team’s receiving corps. Youngsters Dez Bryant, Kevin Ogletree and others need the offseason work to continue their development.
